I always hear 'Scrum' and 'Agile' words in my project since my project is following Scrum methodology. I started working in Scrum project, when I was very new to these terminologies. After 3 years, now I realize the importance for Scrum over other software development methodologies.
Below information I collected from few websites which defines above both things.
Agile Methodology
Agile methodology is an approach to project management, typically used in software development. It helps teams respond to the unpredictability of building software through incremental, iterative work cadences, known as sprints.
Agile development methodology attempts to provide many opportunities to assess the direction of a project throughout the development lifecycle. This is achieved through regular cadences of work, known as sprints or iterations, at the end of which teams must present a shippable increment of work. Thus by focusing on the repetition of abbreviated work cycles as well as the functional product they yield, agile methodology could be described as “iterative” and “incremental"
Agile methodology emphasizes the communication ,collaboration ,rapid exchange of information , teamwork and what is very important the functioning software and flexibility.
The results of “inspect-and-adapt” in this methodology to development greatly reduce both development costs and time to market. Because teams can gather requirements at the same time they’re gathering requirements, the phenomenon known as “analysis paralysis” can’t really impede a team from making progress. And because a team’s work cycle is limited to two weeks (or as defined), it gives stakeholders recurring opportunities to calibrate releases for success in the real world.
